I mean to make it easier I guess I would just tell myself I am convinced that Jesus existed. So I believe in him. But not “in Him” capital H.

Or you could imagine yourself cheering Jesus on and hoping he will do well in sports ball for the Jerusalem league. I could see him as a solid basketball player with the magical powers and all.

Nothing wrong with lying there obviously.

Leaving in 2010 was a great choice. I feel like I stayed on way too long only getting rid of it in 2020.

Well if he were less of a sociopathic asshole we’d all be better off.

And yes wealth at that level corrupted him.

If I saw those numbers it would be cancel then shop elsewhere

I feel like the robots have already earned their leadership

Welcome robot overlords etc etc

Hey It iS oUR RiGhT to not teach basic science jn the usa! /s

As a high school teacher looking to get out of teaching I’m so tired

And like… I’m just guessing… 800 square feet? That’s a district? Nazeem is crazy

Possiblity #1: Something that worked through my insurance is Brightside, a service that is similar to Better Help but more guided by HIPPA and they take insurance. I had a crisis and was connected to a psychiatrist and therapist which worked super well for me to have it scheduled easily with my ADHD.

Possibility #2: Psychology Today’s therapist search also had a filter for things like insurance accepted, location, online only sessions, and religious belief and LGBT friendliness. It has also worked well for me to find therapists in the past.

I hope you find a way to talk to a therapist soon! It has helped me tremendously.

Those interested: Erika Lust is a fun site. It has more ethical porn that you don’t have to wade through weird crap for. Well worth it IMHO

Jackdaws?!

Knowing about “Temporary Internet Files” while my family was unaware made me feel like some sort of God of knowledge.

Oh and yeah I think I found porn there hooray!

Not OC but the idea of making someone feel good makes me feel good. It’s like double the dopamine for me.

I could totally see being grossed out by it when I think about it logically. In fact it is gross when I think about it logically.

Similar issue with me! In our case both were HSAs and my employer changed companies. The first was awesome (and super helpful considering it was pre tax) and the second was horrible.

Same with HSA cards. I quit paying into mine because they wanted proof I got work done after using at a dentist.

Yeah, because dentists usually sell fun things. Fuckin morons

Jablinski rocks like that

To add on: questioning and reflecting on your behaviors is the first step.

I’m definitely guilty of some of this too and being more mindful of it has been… a process… that isn’t easy but helps me a lot.

Don’t hold back! Tell Big Tea what you think!

(I personally like Green Tea and lighter varieties but I have to be… in the mood. I’m always in the mood for coffee on the other hand.)

I use crumpled up paper at the bottom of mine. Oxygen and the chimney do wonders to get it started. Living in the suburbs I’m always grossed out when I walk by an outdoor BBQ and smell lighter fluid.

I also love Alton Brown and there are other videos that will teach you how to do a lot on a simple Weber style kettle grill.

Also: once you get other accessories like pans to hold and divide the charcoal for indirect heating then you’ll even open up more especially if you have a thermometer in the grill. While keeping it as low as a smoker isn’t easy it’s not impossible and I’ve done some great pork and slower cooked meats on mine.

Also with charcoal you can get creative and use basic smoking to elevate your game.

Also don’t light it with lighter fluid, a starter chimney is the way to go.

Pros for charcoal: you get to drink beer, play with fire, and grill and get credit for it.

Pros with propane: king of the hill and it’s easy to clean up

Thanks, dad!
